Abstract
The platinum-based anticancer drug cis-[PtCl2(NH3)2] (cis-DDP) is one of the most effective drugs available for the treatment of human tumours,1 whereas its trans isomer (trans-DDP) is inactive.2–6 The clinical efficacy of cis-DDP is, however, limited by tumour cell resistance present either in the onset of treatment (intrinsic) or after an initial response (acquired)7 Cis-DDP resistance appears to be mediated by factors which reduce platinum-DNA adduct formation, e.g. reduced intracellular accumulation, increased inactivation by intracellular thiols, increased repair8 or tolerance of platinum-DNA adducts.9
